Just wait until they make you undress down do your underpants so they can take
a "better" picture of your birthmarks, scars etc.

Noo need for that - Birthmarks, scars, etc. can be faked/altered well
enough with makeup or tatooing & such that it's really rather
pointless.
It's much better to go with stuff like your skull shape. That, it
turns out, can be measured directly from optical photographs of the
head & face, and fairly easily can be reduced to a form that allows
automatic comparisons. With, it ought to be pointed out, a lower
failure rate than fingerprint comparisons.
